Izikhulu zaseSudan sezikuqinisekisile ukuthi zidubule zabulala izigelekeqe ezathumba izivakashi ezingu-19 kanye nabaseGibhithe ogwadule oluseningizimu neGibhithe ezinsukwini eziyishumi ezedlule.
"Amasosha aseSudan alandele umkhondo wabathumbi ... abathola emngceleni weChad," umeluleki kamongameli waseSudan uMahjoub Fadl Badri etshela izintatheli ngeSonto. "Amasosha aseSudan abulale abayisithupha, okuhlanganisa nomkhuzi weqembu lamavukelambuso eDarfur, abopha ababili."
"Izinhlaka zezokuphepha ngoMgqibelo zithole ukubuyiswa kwabathumbi… nabathumbi babo emngceleni waseSudan," u-Ali Yousuf, umqondisi wezokugcinwa kwemithetho eMnyangweni wezangaphandle eSudan, etshela abezindaba i-SUNA.
Ngokusho kwabathumbi abathunjiwe, abathunjwa baseseChad, njengoba bebabeke endaweni yokucasha futhi basaxoxisana ngabo, ngokusho kukaBadri. Umeluleki kamongameli waseSudan, wengeze ngokuthi abanayo imininingwane yokuthi amasosha aseChad angenile yini.
Kuphinde kwalimala isosha laseSudan kulokhu kungqubuzana, isikhungo sezindaba sase-Egypt i-MENA sicaphune amasosha aseSudan, yengeza ngokuthi abathumbi manje bagcinwe endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iTabbat Shajara, maphakathi ne-Chad. Kodwa-ke, wengeze ngokuthi leli qembu manje selibonakala lisuka eSudan liya “emingceleni yaseGibhithe.”
UMahgoub Hussein, okhulumela ithimba eliyisihluku eDarfur, iSudan Liberation Army (SLA), utshele i-Al Jazzeera News: “Siyawuphika ngokuphelele umbiko othi siyabandakanyeka kulokhu kuthunjwa.
"Inhlangano, noma yiliphi ilungu, alihlangene nabathumbi, futhi empeleni siyasigxeka lesi senzo."
Unikeze isexwayiso kulabo abafuna ukukhululwa ngokuphepha kweqembu.
“Njengoba sazi isifunda nokuziphatha kwamadoda afana nabathumbi, sinxusa zonke izinhlaka ukuthi zizibambe zingene kuxoxiswano oluqondile.
"Noma yimuphi umzamo wendluzula ungase uthinte abathumbi ngokuqondile."
Abathunjwa yizivakashi eziyi-11 - amaNtaliyane amahlanu, amaJalimane amahlanu, noyedwa waseRomania - kanye nabaseGibhithe abayisishiyagalombili okuhlanganisa nabaqondisi ababili, abashayeli abane, unogada kanye nomhleli weqembu labavakashi.
Isikhulu sezokuphepha eGibhithe sitshele i-AFP ukuthi abathumbi nabaxoxisana baseJalimane babevumelene ngesivumelwano kodwa "izingxoxo zisaqhubeka ukuze kutholwe imininingwane".
Abathumbi bafuna iJalimane ukuthi ikhokhe isihlengo sama-euro ayizigidi eziyisithupha ($8.8 million), kusho isikhulu sezokuphepha eGibhithe sitshele i-AFP ngoLwesine.
Bafuna nokuthi isihlengo sidluliselwe kunkosikazi waseJalimane womgqugquzeli wokuvakasha.
Ukuthunjwa kwabantu bakwamanye amazwe kuyivelakancane kakhulu e-Egypt, nakuba ngo-2001 umGibhithe owayehlomile wabamba izivakashi ezine zaseJalimane izinsuku ezintathu eLuxor, efuna umkakhe ayehlukana naye abuyise amadodana akhe amabili eJalimane. Wabakhulula ababethunjiwe bengenamyocu.
